The number one New York Times bestselling author of Bias---Bernard Goldberg---delivers another bombshell -- this time aimed at ...100 People Who Are Screwing Up America
No preaching. No pontificating. Just some uncommon sense about the things that have made this country great -- and the culprits who are screwing it up.
Bernard Goldberg takes dead aim at the America Bashers (the cultural elites who look down their snobby noses at "ordinary" Americans) ... the Hollywood Blowhards (incredibly ditzy celebrities who think they're smart just because they're famous) ... the TV Schlockmeisters (including the one whose show has been compared to a churning mass of maggots devouring rotten meat) ... the Intellectual Thugs (bigwigs at some of our best colleges, whose views run the gamut from left wing to far left wing) ... and many more.
Goldberg names names, counting down the villains in his rogues' gallery from 100 all the way to 1 -- and, yes, you-know-who is number 37. Some supposedly "serious" journalists also made the list, including the journalist-diva who sold out her integrity and hosted one of the dumbest hours in the history of network television news. And there are those famous miscreants who have made America a nastier place than it ought to be -- a far more selfish, vulgar, and cynical place.
But Goldberg doesn't just round up the usual suspects we have come to know and detest. He also exposes some of the people who operate away from the limelight but still manage to pull a lot of strings and do all sorts of harm to our culture. Most of all, 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America is about a country where as long as anything goes, as one of the good guys in the book puts it, sooner or later everything will go.
This is serious stuff for sure. But Goldberg will also make you laugh as he harpoons scoundrels like the congresswoman who thinks there aren't enough hurricanes named after black people, and the environmentalist to the stars who yells at total strangers driving SUVs -- even though she tools around the country in a gas-guzzling private jet.
With Bias, Bernard Goldberg took us behind the scenes and exposed the way Big Journalism distorts the news. Now he has written a book that goes even further. This time he casts his eye on American culture at large -- and the result is a book that is sure to become the voice of all those Americans who feel that no one is speaking for them on perhaps the most vital issue of all: the kind of country in which we want to live.

10. Ralph Neas, president of People for the American Way
Welcome.
I think DevM41 was lucky to be able to form a semi-coherent sentence let alone convey anything of any great import to a paramecium.
That he made a list of 10 items, correctly counting back from 10 to 1, is a major step in troll evolution.
This means they will soon be able to babble even more incoherently.
Well, that's good. It means I can relax, now...;o]
Lol, yeah!
We can have twice the entertainment out of the trolls with half the effort.
You kow, stupidity as obvious as yours should be extremely painful as well as terminally lethal.

You're about to have mail at home.
Glad you like the recipe!
douche
Like it or not Larry Flint did more for free speech than anyone in the last 100 years.
Right, that's what the MSM and his Hollywood friends want everyone to believe. He's a twisted freak who has added nothing to society but degradation.
I did not see Hanoi Jame Fonda listed. Did she make the list?

Bernie's top 10 sound pretty good.
Oh I agree he is a freak but he stopped the people who would censor what you read, including FR.
People in government who exhibit any of these pathologies are the most damaging to America.
